The season of spooky is officially upon us, and I am so excited to see all of the children dressed up tomorrow night!
This is a great time of year to prepare for seasons changing and to think about what you'd like to do with your own personal style in the cool months to come. At this time of year, many people find themselves going through boxes and bins to pull out jackets, sweaters, coats, and gloves. This can be a great time to think about how you'd like to dress this year - and to find some great items to give to charity along the way.
One of the greatest assets that comes from starting to prepare for winter at this time of year is that you'll end up getting first pick of some of the hottest fashions of the season.
This is also a great time to shop and plan for your winter look because this is the time when most designers launch their cold weather styles. If you get in on the fashion action now, you'll end up getting the best in fashion without all the hassle!
If you've got some favorite pieces, collections, or designers for the upcoming winter season, use the comments section below to share them with us!
Happy Halloween!

Why Every House Should Have Houseplants
Have you ever noticed that homes and offices with an abundance of live plants tend to smell better, feel better, and have a healthier feeling air quality? It may just be that keeping plants in your house can give you and your family endless benefits!
Here are a few reasons why keeping a live plant in as many rooms in your home as you can may be a great choice to make for your family's health and wellness...
Relaxation
Plants and flowers have a naturally calming and reassuring effect on the mind. They soothe tempers, create tranquility, and generate a sense of well-being.
Air Purification
Plants and trees are nature's air purifiers. They breathe in the stuff we breathe out and turn it into clean air for all! Having live plants in your home can drastically improve the air quality and even cut down on allergens and sickness!
Good Energy!
Plants are believed to change the mood of a room, calm intense energies, and ground out other energies that may cause problems. Just having a live plant in your home can create a sense of peace and natural harmony instantly!
if you don't keep houseplants because you don't have a green thumb, have no fear! There are many types of plants that need little to no care, and many houseplants are specific varieties that don't need to be re-potted or fed often. Keeping your house plant near a pet's water bowl, fish tank, kitchen window sill, or mirror can be an easy way to remind yourself to give it some water whenever you give water to your pets or clean parts of your home.
As many of us come into a season where plants outside go dormant, having vibrant plants inside can be a great way to combat seasonal depression and sadness.

4 Healthy Snacks To Eat Instead Of Junk Food
If you're like me, you have a craving for sugar and sweets throughout the day that could get you in a lot of trouble if you followed through on all of them! The good news is that there are several low-fat, low-sugar, and all-natural options you have to enjoy in place of those processed sugary treats... and kids love these, too!
1) Fruit
Many fruits are totally sweet-tooth satisfying! Pears and strawberries are my favorites!
2) Smoothies
Making a fruit smoothie with organic yogurt or soy milk is a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth, get some extra energy, and avoid a soda pop or other sugary treat.
3) Peanut Butter
In moderation, peanut butter on apple slices, whole grain bread, or mixed with fruit is a great way to get a boost of energy, a smile on your face, and a solution for sugar cravings.
4) Granola
Packed with grains and dried fruits, granola can be a great sweet treat with or without milk anytime you need it. Go for the varieties that are low in sugar and high in good grains.
Enjoy snacking and satisfying your sweet tooth while making great choices for your health as well!

Neon Wrap Bracelets
There are some new additions to the official Tabelina.com this week, and I wanted my blog readers to be the first to know about them!
As we enter the cool season where colors, wardrobes, and activities change, I find it's nice to add color back into the world with the things we wear. What better way than by adding eye-catching neon wrap bracelets to your look? In contrast to the often muted colors of the Fall and Winter seasons, neon provides a brilliant change and goes above and beyond what people to expect to see at this time of year.
Enjoy my all new PATRICIA neon wrap bracelet designs, and imagine wrapping yourself up in one this year!

The Importance Of Being Positive
When it comes to being happy, healthy, and spiritually empowered, there;s little that can work miracles in your life more than choosing to be positive. When we stay positive we look for the small blessings that surround us at every moment and allow them in without limit. We understand that challenges and negativity do happen, but we never sign up to keep them.
Being positive allows us to rise above the drama and challenges to see them for what they are - lessons and opportunities. Using only thoughts and ideals that support and nourish us is the best way to prevent ourselves from being dragged down by others or changed by moments in life when things simply aren't going as well as we might like them to be.
In order to think positively, we simply need to cultivate more gratitude. Negative thinking usually stems from not being able to see how amazing life is. When we believe that life is out to get us or that things are rarely 'right' and 'good', our minds switch over to thinking that way all the time.
Right at this very moment you can choose to identify the negative thoughts that come up in your mind and intentionally replace them with something positive. The more we are willing to see the good, the more good we'll get!

5 Reasons To Start Holiday Shopping Right Now
Many of us wait until the last minute to get our holiday gifts, but did you know that you can save a lot of time, money, and stress by starting your shopping right now? Getting your gifts taken care of early allows you to take advantage of pre-holiday clearance sales, better shipping rates in many cases, and more inventory as stores and online shops haven't yet sold out of their goods.
Each year I try to start my shopping as early as I can - and I find that I save money, stay calm, and am able to take the time to find truly meaningful gifts for the people on my list.
Here are the top 5 reasons to get your holiday shopping underway right now!
1) You may find that many stores begin selling out of items or raising prices as demand becomes higher. Since most people wait until the last minute to get their holiday shopping done, you can avoid the high costs and sold out inventories by starting yours now.
2) Many stores offer pre-season clearance sales to help make new for fresh inventory shipments. This is a great time to take advantage of some of the year's best sales!
3) The more stress free you stay when shopping the better! Giving yourself plenty of time to handle all of your shopping means that you'll make better choices and have a clear enough mind to pick truly spectacular gifts!
4) If you shop online, buying early gives you plenty of time to get your purchases in the mail, inspect them, and make any needed exchanges. Last minute online shopping often doesn't allow enough time to get things to you without paying for expensive fast shipping rates.
5) If you get your shopping done now, you can spend the holiday season enjoying instead of running around!
Here's to a wonderful holiday season ahead!
